Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest is the dungeon adventure board game for 2-5 players, ages 13 and up, written by Jake Thornton and produced by Mantic Games.

Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King's Quest Prototype

Set in the Dwarfen Hold of Dolgarth, one player will take on the role of Mortibris and command the Undead in a battle against mighty heroes. These adventurers can be split between up to 4 players, or led by just one. You’ll use the simple rules to play through the game’s exciting scenarios, before eventually facing off against the Necromancer in a final showdown!

Once you've played through the story, pick up and play with the Adventurer's Companion - a tome of Advanced Rules that introduces elements of classic roleplaying to your adventures!

The game is designed for both beginners, who are exploring their first dungeon, all the way up to veteran adventurers with many quests completed.

Gameplay Features:

- 2-5 Players: Battle against an opponent or band together with your family or local club members and fight the forces of darkness together!

- Ready-to-play right out of the box: Coloured plastic miniatures like you would find in Mars Attacks - The Miniatures Game or the Gears of War Board Game come ready-built so that you can get gaming straight away. All of the stats and rules you need to play are immediately available on simple character mats and the deck of equipment cards.

- Modular Dungeon: Quest through Dolgarth in awesome detail using the full colour, gridded dungeon tiles. There is also dungeon furniture such as chests where you can acquire magical potions, scrolls and more. Follow our simple maps or create your own!

- Innovative Dice-Driven Fun: Fight through swathes of Zombies or control the necromatic powers of Mortibris and empower your minions to victory, combat and magic is based on a very simple system that uses six-sided dice. Enhance your game and wield magical items, cast powerful spells and perform incredible heroic feats as you combat the magic of the Necromancer and their deadly Dungeon Master deck.

- Narrative Driven Scenarios: From the first few missions where you'll learn the basic mechanics to the game, to sprawling dungeons overrun with regenerating Undead, the game's narrative-heavy scenarios gradually get harder as you progress, introducing new rules and powerful enemies, increasing the challenge and the fun for veterans of the genre or players new to gaming!

- The Adventure Grows!: Want to take your game further? Use the Advanced Rules to build your own epic Dungeon Saga! No quest need ever be the same.

Each modular dungeon tile is made of durable thick card to withstand the rigors of gaming and the fury of battle.
